Bulandshahr(UP): The wife of the 29-year-old youth, who was allegedly shot dead in Adoli village in Bulandshahr on Thursday, alleged that her family members were behind the death of her husband.

According to the Abdul Hakim's wife Mahvish, the victim was shot dead by her family members on November 22 after he had just entered the village along with her and their two-year-old daughter.
